...believe we must fight to defend democracy on campus
Article Abstract:
Efforts by university managers to separate management of institutions from those affected by any decision that are made, namely the staff and students, should be resisted. Universities should be pressed to be more democratic and representative, with staff and students having a say in the decisions that impact on them, while governing bodies should be made more representative of the university and the community it serves.

UCU fears for collegiality
Article Abstract:
Leaders of the University and College Union (UCU) are concerned that proposed management reforms to improve competitiveness in universities might erode academic collegiality. They believe that such restructuring would result in a majority of unelected members on the reorganized college boards and call for staff efforts to increase academic control over their institutions.
